Discussion on: What's your coding origin story?

• Mom owns a computer repair ship since 1994. She got laid off at Bell and had to become an entrepreneur.
• In 1998 (I would have been 11) she was being asked to make websites. Since I spent all my time playing around in Microsoft FrontPage I made websites for her customers and business friends.
• By 2005 I had enough money from building websites to go to College to learn how to build websites.
• When I was at College I skipped most of my classes and stayed as long as I could on campus to utilize their servers where I spent my 3 years learning Ruby on Rails.
• After College, I lived with my Grandma working on remote website jobs online (mostly for career/life coaches) while also trying to break into the web-dev industry.
• My parents told me to get a real job, anything, like work at a gas station and I ignored them.
• I started contributing to an open-source project for 2 weeks and after contributing so much I had to stop since I needed to focus on paid work.
• My contributions were so valuable they hired me as their CTO and flew me to Barcelona.

I've been a CTO ever since.

What's the formula here?

free_open_source_contributes   = 2.weeks
self_study                     = 3.years
repetitive_fundamental_tasks   = 10000
ignore parents                 = true

Someone suggested I make this an Instagram story. Instagram is something people use right?
